Upgrade from 2.1.4 to 2.2 does not automatically reboot
100%
Description
After an upgrade from 2.1.4 to 2.2, the firewall does not automatically reboot. The architecture stayed the same, but the reboot script failed to run.
The upgrade log has a couple errors early:
tar: Failed to set default locale x ./tmp/pre_upgrade_command Firmware upgrade in progress... Installing /root/latest.tgz. tar: Failed to set default locale ./var/empty/: Can't set user=0/group=0 for var/emptyCan't update time for var/empty ./boot/loader.rc: Could not unlink tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. Image installed /root/latest.tgz.
After the output from mtree, there is a more significant error:
Out of file descriptors Tue Jul 8 14:46:30 CDT 2014 Firmware upgrade is complete. Rebooting in 10 seconds.
Only the reboot never happens. Attempting to use the PHP reboot script fails.
: /etc/rc.reboot Out of file descriptors
This leaves the system in an inconsistent state (8.3 kernel, 10.x world).
Tested on i386 but may happen on both.

Tested upgrade of both 32bit and 64bit full installation 2.1.4 to todays latest snapshots:
32bit: Thu Aug 14 10:06:14 CDT 2014
64bit: Thu Aug 14 06:56:40 CDT 2014
"Out of file descriptors" does appear in the console at the end of the upgrade, but it reboots into pfSense 2.2 successfully :)

This also happens on 2.1.5, and just occurred for me on a 2.1.5 -> 2.2.2 upgrade (x64/AMD64).
I have remote web access to the system but SSH doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas to finish the reboot at this point? :(

Bah, realized after posting I could do /sbin/reboot via Diagnostics -> Command Prompt. That got the system alive again, thankfully the upgrade doesn't fail until the reboot stage... but whatever you guys did to fix it didn't actually fix it for 2.1.5 -> 2.2.2.

i had the exact same issue when i upgraded one box from 2.1.5 to 2.2.2, it didnt reboot, ssh was lost, only web gui was working, luckily i had cron installed so i create a reboot entry which worked and then after reboot, i upgraded again with the latest 2.2.2 file as unbound wasnt running due to some file permission issue, then all came up and working fine so far

ALso had the sam issue with 2.1.5 to 2.2.2 with a Vmware cluster of 2 machines in CARP. I saw it hung on reboot in the system logs but didnt know how to reboot it so just tried resetting the VM since I had a snapshot. Came back up fine and worked but nice tip on using the diagnostics-cmd prompt. Will try that next time if it happens again.

Also had same problem refusing to reboot in 2.2.2. I was able to get to console but reboot failed there too. But on shell I was able to run "shutdown -r now" and that worked. After subsequent upgrade to 2.2.4 reboot worked normally.
